Highlights

Snow Corridor Walk

At an altitude of 2,450 meters, Tateyama Murodo is one of Japan's most renowned heavy snowfall areas. "Otani," located near Murodo, experiences deep snow accumulation exceeding 20 meters due to wind conditions. After the roads are cleared, towering snow walls approximately 20 meters high are formed on both sides, known as the "Snow Corridor."

A pedestrian-only path, the Otani Route, is available about 500 meters from Murodo Station. Visitors can enjoy a scenic walk, touching and admiring the magnificent snow walls.

※ High-altitude areas may cause altitude sickness. Travelers with related medical conditions should consult a medical professional before joining the tour.
